It's time for a Key Word...
Story.
This is the part of our show where we put all of today's key words into a...
Key Word Story.
Yes, you got it.
OK, let's begin today's story.
A boss wanted to see what two of his workers were like.
He gave them some money from his company to see how they would use it for his
business.
The first worker was considerate and used the money to help other people.
But the second worker was selfish and used the money for himself.
The first worker was humble and always gave more to others.
Well, the second worker was dishonest.
And the other workers didn't trust him.
The boss was proud of what the first worker did.
He wasn't proud of what the second worker did.
So he fired him.
Wow! That's pretty serious.
Well that... it's a serious story with some serious key words.
Yeah. I'm more like the first worker.
Friends, it's time for us to review today's lesson.
Uh, I'm like the first...
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk!

Well, our guest today is here to talk all about what it means to be a true
friend.
Let's welcome her.
Welcome to the show, Miss Friendly!
Thanks, Rob!
You wrote a book called True Friends.
Tell us about it.
In True Friends, I talk about 25 qualities of a true friend.
Tell me one.
A true friend is always honest.
I've had friends who were dishonest before.
They weren't really my friends.
Right. You need to be able to trust your friends.
True friends are always honest with you.
What's another quality of a true friend?
True friends are considerate.
They think about what you want, need or like.
They think about you instead of themselves.
They aren't selfish.
That's right.
It's important for a friend to be humble, too.
If you're not humble, it's easy to become too proud.
Can you tell us more qualities?
Not today, Rob.
Your viewers will have to buy my book!
Do you have many true friends?
A true friend is someone you can trust, so he is never dishonest.
Being considerate is another quality of a true friend.
He will always think about you and your feelings first.
He won't be selfish.
True friends are also humble, not proud.
They don't think they are more important than you.
